The good Ol' Dragon Quest ! With Low Level in draconian quest(Stronger Enemy).

Rules :
- All exp gained are from mandatory battle
- Pep Power is forbidden, except for sidequest.
- Draconian setting is on with stronger enemy and reduce exp
- Hero can't die/knock out even once in battle, and he can't be switched by other people ( I mean why square let it ?)
- Seed is fair game until i found out how to farm it. i don't know how to farm\abuse seed so i feel like its still fair game.
- i will do all the sidequest instead only mandatory battle

[INTRODUCTION]
Grim Gryphons is the second real battle and it already becoming the run killer. why ? because the only way to beat them at low level is by praying to RNG god that sleeping hibiscus connect and the effect last more than 3 turn. also with the way the game don't give you access to item that can revive K.O character is just brutal. also they can kill hero in the first turn if they want to.

[AI Behaviour]
i did try this battle more than 50 match and i dont have a single clue wtf is their pattern is. it totally random. sometimes they just use attack only, sometimes they constantly spam decelerate(?), sometime they use AoE magic.

[Preparation]
preparation is half of the battle, in this run i need lot of medicine herb, 3 phial, and 2 strong medicine in hero inventory, the reason for strong medicine is that medicine herb isn't sufficient enough to heal erik in very low hp state which he most likely happen because he can tank more than 2 hit. make sure you have the best armor you can get. forge them to +3. give erik strength accessory and gold chain from sidequest. in this run. reduce enemy exp make me can fulfill Pep Power sidequest(killing slime didn't give exp). for hero he need also the best armor but honestly even with the best armor he can only tank than 1 hit.

[Strategy and Problem]
As i already said in the introduction section the only strategy to defeat them at low level is by praying to RNG god that sleeping hibiscus connect and the effect last more than 3 turn. but in reality sleeping hibiscus is most likely to miss rather than connect heck in this video IT MISSES 3 TIMES. and let say the hibiscus connect. the grim most likely wake in 2-3 turn ! and after one of them wake up it INSTANTLY MOVE and if RNG GOD didn't want you to win it can kill either erik and hero(Most likely hero). the pep power actually solve this by making this battle faster. with only 2 pep power grim most likely death and single grim didn't posses threat except when it get pep too!
but with no pep power challenge. you need 10 turn of attacking to kill single grim.
oh yeah did i already mention that the boss can kill hero in the first turn ? or the medicine herb supply is not enough because sleeping hibiscus never connect ?

[Solution]
yeah no other solution except resetting until getting the best RNG. i already beat this boss with pep power and save it. but in this video it is different preparation and strategy, let me explain it. i think those level is the most reliable to tackle them. 63 Exp gained from killing that egg monster that give ride to access seed defense and feather hat recipe. seed defense is absolutely given to hero that give him +4 resilience (?). with seed of hp and additional hp from level up he can finally tank 2 hit from grim which is make this battle more bearable. creating feather hat is not really necessary. but the additional defense is nice especially with +3 forge !
